~My Heart is Set~

        I determine, in Your presence,
      that i will stand upon Your Word,
    press on through the midnight battles,  
         & hold onto all I've heard,
    but sometimes, i grow weary, Lord,
        & have no strength to fight~
  ~I sense Your angels ward off the arrows,
        & carry me through the night~

     I've always been waiting, Lord,
       all my life, for something,
  courage, or strength, or love, or power
        to boldly speak, or sing,
       i have heard You calling me,
      I've longed to fully enter in,
  but my focus has still been on myself...
   ...now i see it's been such sin!

    You've called me to the impossible
       so YOU will get the glory!
     They wonder why I'm an overcomer
  when they hear even some of my story,
   but i have no strength without You,
       no chance for total victory
without Your light, I'd give up the fight,
  & be in chains...yet I'm set free!!!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

There are two verses made so real to me lately, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me!" & "Without Him, I can do NOTHING!!!"
My need for total dependance on Him, & being set free from my independant nature that was my strength, until i met Him, grows more obvious to me every day.
